Regardless of whose music you prefer, only one of these Twitter superstars is the best when it comes to influencing their followers. So who is it?
To find out, we’ve taken a look at the top 10 retweeted tweets from each account, and the 10 most recent tweets, to see who is getting the most retweets on average.
